Salmon!

Here’s that salmon joke President Obama made during the SOTU last night.

“The Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they’re in fresh water, but the Commerce Department handles them when they’re in saltwater,” Obama said. “I hear it gets even more complicated once they’re smoked.”

Still unsure what that was all about – a subtle shout-out to Brooklyn and New York’s senior senator, maybe?

Whatever the case, it was fairly amusing. So much so, that it became one of the top three words used to describe the president’s speech by (go figure) NPR listeners.
